2002 Audi A6 ***Please Respond***?

Q: I am a 17 year old teenager and I am interested in an Audi A6 2002, with 69,400 miles on it. I have 3 questions to ask: 1. Since my school is only 2 miles away, I'll only drive about 5 miles each day atleast. So based on that, I won't really drive the car that much, would the maintenance cost be bad if I don't drive it that much??? 2. How's the insurance on this car, cheap or expensive??? 3. Is it worth getting this car as a teenager cause I know that Japanese cars like Toyota, Honda, or Nissan are really good??? Please don't ignore this, give me your best opinions, especially for you people who acutally own an Audi. Thanks.....

A: Driving that short of distance is very bad for you car. I would not recommend an A6 for a 17 year old. I would actually stay away from European cars all together until your finances increase. The Germans make the best driving cars but, VERY high maintenance costs and they do break down on occasion, especially one with 60+ miles on it . Your due for many service soon, such as coolant flush, timing belt, trans service, break flush, etc.. If you have you heart set on an Audi or even BMW/Mercedes get one with lower millage and certified pre-owned. I own an 2002 A4 that i bought with 32k on it, it was Audi certified. (2 year/or 50k B-to-B warranty included, with road side assist). For your age a Honda or Nissan would be great (4 cyl). It you like the the great handling and fit and finish of the Germans you may want to consider a Mazda also. Toyotas are great too, but very boring to drive. Hope that helps!
